This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Ooh yeah...
Whoa oh yeah...
Whoa oh yeah...
Whoa...
I didn't catch your name
Please tell me once again
'Cause when I looked in your eyes
I couldn't concentrate
Girl, I've been standing here
Feels like a thousand years
And now we're face to face
Don't want to hesitate
Baby can't you see
You and me ought to be
Together day and night
Make it right
Till the morning light
I'm so into you
Girl it's true what you do
It's driving me insane
And I'll do anything, girl
[Chorus:]
Just a little piece of heaven
Just to be alone with you
There's nothing I won't do
I think about you 24/7
And I give you all of me
For just a little piece of heaven
Whoa, oh yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
Whoa
I've seen you in my dreams
As crazy as it seems
Somehow I feel I've known you for all my life
Come on let's disappear
Get far away from here (let's get away from here)
So I can give you all the love I feel tonight
Don't you want to go
Let me know if it's so
Baby take my hand
Understand I should be your man
Every time we touch
It's too much
Can't get enough
Girl let's make a move
'Cause there's nothing that I wouldn't do
[Chorus:]
Won't you come here my dear
I don't want to waste a minute of our time
You've got to be mine
Oh yeah
Baby can't you see
You and me ought to be
Together day and night
Make it right
Till the morning light
I'm so into you
Girl it's true what you do
It's driving me insane
And I'll do anything, whoa yeah
[Chorus:]
Whoa oh yeah...
Whoa oh yeah...
Whoa...
I didn't catch your name
Please tell me once again
'Cause when I looked in your eyes
I couldn't concentrate
Girl, I've been standing here
Feels like a thousand years
And now we're face to face
Don't want to hesitate
Baby can't you see
You and me ought to be
Together day and night
Make it right
Till the morning light
I'm so into you
Girl it's true what you do
It's driving me insane
And I'll do anything, girl
[Chorus:]
Just a little piece of heaven
Just to be alone with you
There's nothing I won't do
I think about you 24/7
And I give you all of me
For just a little piece of heaven
Whoa, oh yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
Whoa
I've seen you in my dreams
As crazy as it seems
Somehow I feel I've known you for all my life
Come on let's disappear
Get far away from here (let's get away from here)
So I can give you all the love I feel tonight
Don't you want to go
Let me know if it's so
Baby take my hand
Understand I should be your man
Every time we touch
It's too much
Can't get enough
Girl let's make a move
'Cause there's nothing that I wouldn't do
[Chorus:]

Together day and night

Till the morning light
I'm so into you
Girl it's true what you do
It's driving me insane
And I'll do anything, whoa yeah
[Chorus:]

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
